But I don't see what realistically they can do to put the matter right otherwise. They can't undo the parties.

It would help to some extent if Boris, his PPS and all attendees reported themselves to the Police and let the law take its course. If the Police decide that the law was broken, these individuals would have to pay the prescribed penalty, maybe at a doubling rate for more than one attended party. That would put them on a par with public offenders. Sue Gray would be irrelevant to this if she found that only "guidance" was flouted.

It won't go away for the Guvmin if they flouted their own guidance; the public wouldn't see it favourably, never mind the flouting I reckon we've all done to some extent.

As to illegality, have a read of this: https://barristerblogger.com/2021/12...-street-party/

It's difficult to paste a useful quote due to the way the item is formatted. But really worth a read.
